Chapter 982 - Crime Story

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Ashley stuffed her face with ice cream because that was the only thing she craved right now. No one complained though. Just like how Nora liked to cope with her break-ups with liquor, Ashley liked to melt down her sorrow with a tub of ice cream.

She actually found it strange how three pairs of eyes continued to watch her, waiting for her to say something. And one thing was the same in those eyes, they held concern for her that touched her heart. At this moment, Ashley really thought these three were siblings. All the same; eccentric but caring. Although they cared in their own ways, it didn't change the fact that the three of them were really caring people.

"I just found out my boyfriend had been cheating on me with my best friend," told Ashley.

"Oh..."

Ashley was taken aback by how calm these three acted after listening to that. As if that didn't come as a surprise at all.

"Aren't you surprised? It's my boyfriend! With my own best friend!"

Nora waved her hand carelessly, "Darling, it's always the best friend."

"Why do you think so many people write about this plot in books, movies, and dramas? It's not fiction. When it comes to real life, it always ends up happening," added Xiu.

Even Jackie nodded along with his two sisters. Although it sounded cliche, even he knew that it wasn't surprising.

"Moving on from that," said Xiu. "Who he cheated with is not the concern here. The fact is he actually dared to cheat on our family's daughter!"

Nora instantly agreed, "True! He is looking for death, isn't he? Motherfucker, actually went on to betray the trust of our family's daughter?"

"Let's not forget to add that he broke her heart," reminded Jackie. "That's the worst crime one can commit."

"Absolutely!"

Xiu rubbed her hands as she stared at Ashley, "Tell me, where can we find him?"

"Huh?" Ashley was dumbfounded by that question. "Are you gonna ask him to explain himself?"

"Who does that?" retorted Xiu. "Do I look like that reasonable to you?"

"Because we really aren't that reasonable people," added Nora.

"Then what are you gonna do?" inquired Ashley as she looked at them.

Xiu's evil smile came out to play on her lips as she shared a look with Nora who understood her immediately. "We are gonna put a sack on his head," started Xiu.

"And pull him into a dark alley," Nora continued Xiu's statement.

"And then the real fun will begin," concluded Jackie acting just like his sisters.

"It's been a while since my baseball bat hadn't had any nuts to crack," said Xiu excitedly. "I'm looking forward to this."

"Sister-in-law, what are you gonna do? Why does it sound scary?" asked Ashley as she felt a cold aura from the three of them.

Xiu patted her head, "There is nothing to be scared of."

"Maybe we can just sit down to talk," suggested Ashley.

"What can you talk to a cheater?" retorted Xiu. "A cheater is not worth it. Trust me, he isn't."

"No reason can justify his cheating," added Nora. "Do you wanna get back together with him?"

"No way!" Ashley almost shouted.

"Then it's better to teach that scum a lesson and move on," said Nora in a reassuring voice. "Have faith in us. We'll do a clean job."

"So clean that he'll never be able to think with lower half again," said Xiu.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Four people turned to look at Darren who had been leaning against the door listening to this crime plan. He really didn't want to disturb but he really wanted to laugh out. In the end, he coughed to hide his laughter.

Ashley looked at Darren and called out, "Bro, aren't you gonna say something? They are about to commit a crime."

"I definitely won't sit back and let them do it," said Darren as he walked over to her side and placed his hand on her head. "I'll definitely make sure they don't get caught."

"What?" Ashley didn't think she'd be hearing something like this from him. She always thought her brother was dependable and responsible.

Darren leaned down to look into her eyes as he said, "He dared to hurt my sister. How can I let it go? I have to get justice for my sister." Ashley's eyes brimmed with tears instantly when she heard him say that. Darren wiped her tear as he went on, "I have to make someone pay for these precious tears of my sister, no?"

Ashley hugged his waist as she cried out, "Bro, I love you so much! Thank you for being my brother!"

"What a silly sister," commented Darren as he patted her shoulder. "Did you forget? I told you before, your brother is always here for you. So, don't always try to fight things on your own. Give me a chance to protect my sister as well."

While Darren was comforting Ashley, the other three talked out the detailed plan of their crime in hushed voices.

"Your wife is a violent person," commented Ashley to Darren.

Darren chuckled at that, "Did you just notice?" His shoulders shook with his laughter, "Just because I love to call her Sweets doesn't mean she is actually sweet." He rubbed her head saying, "You should be honored she is willing to pull out her baseball bat for you. Not everyone gets the honor."

"You really aren't gonna stop her?" asked Ashley.

"No," answered Darren in reply. "She is having fun. Why would I go over and ruin her fun? You stop worrying about it, she knows what she is doing. You don't think about anything. Especially not about that douchebag." He pinched her cheek as he went on, "And you better not waste your tears on him again."

Ashley nodded her head with a small smile on her face, "I won't." She wasn't faking her smile.. She suddenly realized that she had so many people worrying about her, why should she waste her tears on one scumbag? Even though it still hurt, she was gonna be strong now and not cry just because it hurt.
